Abstract: In this article we analyzed 210 cases of autoimmune diseases who were treated by corticosteroids. The relationship between the dosage of corticosteroids and infection were studied. The infection rate was 8.1%.When lower dosage was used, generally the infection did not occur. If the ultra-dosage was used continuously and constantly, the infection surely would occur, and were mainly related to the dosage of corticosteroid.
